About Gwen
Gwen Bartran is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 25 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, parenting strain, and anger. Her work also covers depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and mood disorders.
Gwen prefers straightforward, practical sessions that combine talk with attention to how the body is involved. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based ideas, client-centered work, mindfulness, and narrative approaches. Sessions often look at patterns that repeat in relationships and in how someone handles strong emotions like anger or shame.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with trauma and eating-related problems. She pays attention to attachment history and how early relationships shape current reactions. That helps people see why certain situations trigger intense responses and how to respond differently over time.
Gwen integrates mindfulness practices and narrative techniques to help people notice thoughts and stories that fuel anger and distress. ACT tools are used to clarify values and choose actions that match those values even when emotions feel strong. The focus is on skills that can be used between sessions.
She works in English and practices in Colorado. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the site.
How Gwen’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting locked into them and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anger, anxiety, and making behavior changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current reactions and helps people understand why they respond strongly in close connections. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding so a person can explore feelings and make decisions at their own pace.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Gwen will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try methods that fit. The approach can be adjusted as needed so the person and therapist decide together what helps most.
